Highlights of USAID's Fiscal Year 2007 Budget Request

- The USAID budget underscores the Administration's commitment to long-term development in Africa by fully funding Presidential Initiatives such as the Malaria Initiative, the Initiative to End Hunger in Africa, the Africa Global Competitiveness Initiative, the Women's Justice and Empowerment Initiative, the African Education Initiative, and the new Development Credit Africa Housing and Infrastructure Facility.
- USAID is an active participant in the President's Freedom Agenda. The Agency implements democracy and governance programs in a number of strategic countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan.
- USAID is reviewing operations to increase efficiencies in line with the President's Management Agenda.
- In addition, USAID is seeking operating resources sufficient to permit restoration of foreign-service staff needed to oversee the Agency's sizable program responsibilities, as well as funds to ensure security of employees and facilities worldwide.
- Lastly, USAID, in coordination and collaboration with the U.S. Department of State, is modernizing information systems to improve program accountability.
